How To Repair Protein Overload & Save Your Dry, Damaged Relaxed Hair | Style Domination

[@natasharuffin7308]

I LOVE the Keracare products. It is my holy grail. The products brought my hair back to life.

[@licia432]

Yes I agree! I’ve been using keracare products since 2012. Well worth the money. It is the only salon hair care line that has allowed my hair to thrive and retain moisture. 👍🏾❤️

[@thoulaphetmany9037]

Hi guys. I love kerastase too . I think I have protein overloaded hair now what range of Kerastase should I use? Thanks for help

[@maria.mesquita]

I'm quite sure I was suffering from this too. Now I'm more focused on pure oils treatments, shampoo and mascaras with oils to achieve its hydration again, since the protein made my hair fragil and dry. We have to look the ingredients in the products bc the industry is putting a lot of keratin in literally everything. Thanks for the video

[@trawlins396]

I have that same heating cap and I love it!

[@SerenityIsComing]

I literally just had protein overload and was able to recover in 2 washes. Every single product I was using, had some form of protein in it, and I would wonder why my hair was always so dry. Now I use only 4-5 products max. Protein is in so many products, it takes much research and Ingredient reading/googling to find truly protein-free products.

[@StyleDomination]

I feel like I have a new head. LOL! Seriously. My hair feels so much better. And no breakage!

[@cutenobi]

I wish I could recover from protein overload with 2 washes. I’ve tried everything. It’s going on 7 months of having protein overload.

[@karacreswell8437]

cutenobi Same!! My virgin, NEVER heat styled hair is going on three months of protein overload and still doesn’t look it’s best. It’s so frustrating to have spent 6 years lovingly caring for your hair just to have it break and lose its curl definition. Hang in there! It will get better. And it’s not JUST HAIR....it’s your hair and you deserve to have hair that you love.

[@teeeee9174]

What products did you eventually use to combat the overload? I’m using the mielle pomegranate and honey leave in but I heard that botanical extracts also contain protein😬

[@amanda9986]

​@StyleDomination what do you use for shampoo n conditioner or what are your top 3 favorite?

[@Amarhi281]

HAITIAN BLACK CASTOR OIL IS THE BEST MOISTURIZING OIL. So many hair stylist has recommended this to me over the years. I luv it.

It’s been a year I ve been struggling with protein overload without knowing and my hair was super frizzy like hell and each weak I used protein masks and protein heat protectant and it was getting worse and never thought that protein could be the reason

[@avabishop753]

Dom I love your videos. I always feel like I'm learning something new every time I watch you.

[@StyleDomination]

That means a lot, Ava! Thank you so much!!

[@tjandcj123]

So true. I use a protein mask one every two months. Everything else I use on a regular basis is water based

[@StyleDomination]

Good for you - see, girl? You know. Lol! Hope you’re well, luv!

I'm happy! I got a fresh relaxer and haircut today!

[@bevaudrey2249]

Great tips Dom. I am watching this video as I sit under the dryer. Salons in my city opened last week and I was able to get an appointment today. My ends were a mess so she took 3 to 4 inches off which is the amount of new growth I had anyway. Thanks for the protien list, I will be doing an inventory of my products . I love your channel and thanks for the info.

[@StyleDomination]

Hi Bev! Glad you were able to get an appointment and take care of your hair! I did an inventory too and was stunned at allllll the protein I was using! Thanks so much for watching!

[@desiree4535]

You look so pretty! 😍 I think I may be having an overload, I can’t even run my fingers though my hair without strands coming out or breaking. I took your advice and used the PM shampoo, DC’d under a.streamer and got some braids for a protective style. 🙏🏾 for me!

[@jmocha74]

I've suffered from protein overload before I knew my hair was low porosity/protein sensitive. Now I only use protein once or every two months. I'm constantly checking the ingredients in products so I won't experience protein overload again. Do companies have to put alot of protein in their products and why? Some products I would like to use and can't use because of the protein.

[@autobotdiva9268]

me too

[@cutenobi]

I’ve been dealing with protein overload for 7 months and it’s driving me crazy. I’ve shed a lot of hair trying to figure out how to recover. I was doing protein treatments every two weeks. I’m trying to learn when is best to use protein.

[@jmocha74]

@@cutenobi First check the ingredients in all your products. Shampoos,deep conditioners,conditioners, and leave ins that have protein in them should only be used once a month or every two months. Styling products that has protein in them can only be used once a month. Alternative between moisturizing shampoo/ deep conditioner and clarifying/sulfate shampoo /deep conditioner. Meaning if you wash your hair every 2 weeks use moisturizing shampoo and deep conditioner. Next 2 weeks use clarifying shampo or sulfate shampoo and deep conditioner. Make sure none of those products has protein in them. When you moisturize/seal make sure none of those products have protein in them. This what helped me recover. You're going to have to change your hair routine if it means throwing some products out.

[@jmocha74]

@@cutenobi Also there are videos on here showing products that are protein free you can check out. Just type in protein free products.

[@cutenobi]

I don’t have any products with protein. I’m experiencing protein overload because of doing a DIY fenugreek prepoo treatment. I guess fenugreek is difficult to wash out.

[@DORCASDIASRIESMAKINGMEMORIES]

I use aloe vera, and mixed oils to combat the protein overload. It's doing wonders, cos, girl,,, I was addicted to rice water😅😅😅. Thanks for the video

[@chrism3152]

I'm in protein overload rehab now because silly me decided to try rice water on my hair... I'm like a child sometimes, give me time and watch me find something to get into🙃 What has worked wonders was using the Joico Defy Damage shampoo and hair masque right away and trimming my ends, then cowashing weekly, doing the baggy method weekly (leaving on a few hours not overnight), using aloe vera juice (from the leaf) to moisturize and argon oil to seal my ends. And leaving my hair alone... I've been the top bun queen for the last 4 weeks. My hair is doing sooo much better, the softness and manageability is coming back.

[@kalishajnz]

I have the joico defy damage on my list but wasn't sure about purchasing, what do you like about it if you don't me asking?

[@chrism3152]

@@kalishajnz I have fine (thin strands) and thick (lots, lots, lots of strands) hair, so I tend to have issues with really thick products. The masque is light despite providing plenty of slip... my hair felt balanced, soft and the shedding stopped. You don't need a lot of either the shampoo or the masque so I'd recommend getting the Defy Damage Care Trial kit from Ulta, it's $17 and gives you 2-3 uses of both...I haven't used the conditioner or heat protector (included in the kit) yet but plan to at some point.

[@marcialsblendshair6088]

Keracare is great

[@StyleDomination]

It really is!

[@MC-yp5rk]

Protein Overload is ruining my life!!! nothing seems to be working. This all started bc I did an Aphogee Treament three weeks ago. My highlighted strands are breaking off.

[@tiffaniemcmillan209]

I was sitting here today, on wash day, wondering if I should Olaplex3 again this week. I’ll do a moisturizing deep conditioner instead. As much as I love my Olaplex.

[@StyleDomination]

I’m still going to use my Olaplex but monthly. That stuff makes my hair feel wonderful!! I never used it weekly though

[@AbsoluteMdot]

Thank you so much for your videos! My Stylist use to use Olaplex on me all the time and it worked wonders than for some reason they got rid of it. I cannot wait until my salon opens back up. Keracare is my go to line! I love the shampoo and conditioners, I also love the essential oils by Keracare and the Keracare Silkn seal spray. The struggle is real! Praying the open June 6th but we'll see

[@kalishajnz]

I use more protein than the average person I think. I wash once a week and one week is moisturizing the next protein but my leave ins that I use weekly after wash day has protein in them. So far it works for me but I did have a time where I had protein overload. My hair just felt funny and when I went back through my hair journal I found that I was using too much protein. Had it not been for my hair journal I don't think I would've caught it as fast so journals are great for a hair regimen. Great video!!

[@leavemealone3198]

I just realized my hair mask has protein as a second ingredient GOD and I thought I needed more protein! I have protein overload and I didn’t even know

[@StyleDomination]

Hi Ines! You may not! Did you check for symptoms? Mine got really dry and gross. When I shampooed it out and used hydrating stuff, it got way better. Thanks for watching, luv!

[@leavemealone3198]

Style Domination I did ! Ever since salons closed I ve been struggling with nee growth and my hair is shedding a little bit. It feels weak and I can’t even put in a low bun because it feels heavy on my scalp. Moreover, I have to blowdry after washing it so that the new curls don’t get matted. Ugh I used flaxseed gel last week as a pre poo and I loved it. Also I’m always watching luv! Hahahaha your voice and way of speaking is so beautiful. I can’t get enough

Great information. It seems that conditioners with protein detangle my hair the best. After shampooing my hair is matted very badly. The silicon mix and ORS work like a dream and aphogee the joico nope. Do you have any recommendations for conditioners with low protein that might detangle coarse relaxed hair. TFS your knowledge!

How about trying detangling conditioners like the Keracare Detangling Conditioner Shampoo? It’s incredible! I’m still looking for a good Detangling conditioner. Apparently, Keracare Moisturizing Conditioner for colour treated hair is supposed to be great!

Olaplex does not have protein, but it repairs the sulfer bonds in your hair. I love olaplex. It has restored my hair when I thought all hope was gone. It even worked better than protein treatment for me. But it DOES dry out my hair after awhile...even with deep conditioner. I had to give it a break and start deep moisturizing only.

[@sylviadugbartey1663]

Hi..Please I use this deep conditioner, Sunny Isle JBCO Intensive Repair Masque(Damage Reversal). I didn't know if it was moisturizing or protein. I sent the company a mail to find out, dm them on their IG page, and I never got any response. I saw this particular ingredient, Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein, but is part of the last 5 ingredients on the package. So is it a balancing moisture-protein deep conditioner??...and I use it with the fenugreek paste which is rich in protein so is the combination okay or it's bad?
